Chris Peters - Hey, the other guitar player in my band is using the XXX. We are having some issues with the clean channel. It tends to break up easily and sounds really brittle. He used to play through a Fender Hot Rod Deville so he id used to a nice clean tone. I know you've played with the JSX settings a lot any suggestions?

Goodbye Syd
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Bike
I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I've got a cloak
It's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front
It's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I know a mouse
And he hasn't got a house
I don't know why
I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old
But he's a good mouse
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man
There a man
Lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They're on the dish
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things
I know a room full of musical tunes
Some rhyme
Some ching
Most of them are clockwork
Let's go into the other room and make them work
Peace.........................................John

civgeek: well....I guess my first question is: Has the clean channel always acted this way or is this a new occurance? If the channel has started to break up, I would think the preamp tubes are suspect. In other words, if the drive channels sound the same but the clean has changed, that's preamp tubes all the way. Usually some of the tubes get used for the drive channles, and some of the preamp tubes are used in the clean circuit, so one of them may be bad. Also, you could look into better tubes. My JSX came loaded with Electroharmonix tubes....which are better than the junk most manufacturers stock their amps with, but in all of my amps, the JJ tubes make a HUGE difference.... the amp is simultaneously warmer, cleaner(noise wise), more defined, more headroom and the EQ controls have a wider range. Since the XXX comes stock with 6L6 tubes, I would recommend swapping them with a quartet of JJ 6L6GC power tubes, and swap the preamp tubes with JJ ECC83S tubes, with the phase inverter tube a JJ ECC83S that is graded for the phase inverter slot. You can go to www.eurotubes.com (JJ tubes dealer) to check out the tubes and inquire about the specific XXX issue. In other words, you can email them and say"I'd like more headroom and more warmth from the clean channel...what tubes will help this?" The other thing to think of, is that if your friend is using really high output passive pickups like the X2N or really hot active pickups like EMG 81's 88's etc, this will really push the front end of the amp and cause breakup. The JSX has an additional lo gain input to fix this problem. The other thing is that the tube may be bad, and the bias on the amp may be too low. For example, I was curious, soI called peavey and asked what the power tubes are biased at. They said that with EL34's the amp is biased at 42.5mV. For the JSX, this is a great setting and sounds perfect. You can set it a few mV higher, and the amp gets maybe a little bit warmer, but you start to run the risk of really short tube life. If the amp is set to "cold" around 40mV or lower, the amp will start sounding brittle or lifeless. The final idea...is that your friend is running the chanel volume on the XXX way up and the master volume low. If I do this on the JSX (for ex: set the channel on 10 and the master on 2 or something) the clean channel will be overloaded and distorted, and since the master is low, the amp will be cold sounding. I prefer to set the master on 10 and set the channels acordingly. I feel that the channels especially the dist channels are the best at a volume of 5 with the master on 10....this is tons of volume. So I set lead channel at 5, dist rhythm at 3.5 and clean at 3. This is more than enough volume, and makes the clean channel warm and doesn't break up. I have to tell you though, that I never liked the XXX clean channel, because I found it cold and stiff. Let me know if this clears anything up.

the laskar-e-toiba decided to do it again yesterday ,,,do what it does best.....terrorise people and what a way to do it........railway station etc....the murderers ,,,if only i can lay my hand on a single one of them i would rip his heart out and cook it in a utensil and feed it to the dogs.........yesterday they had elections in Pakistan occupied Kahsmir and so to prove whetever point they had the L-e-t decided to let loose...i wonder if Muslims will be looked at in the same way again in India after this.....bomb blasts are almost normal occurings here but of this magnitude...well 13 blast in a day.......5 in kashmir and 8 in mumbai...i am glad that where i live there is peace and tranquility and terror groups do not operate........the death toll is on the rise every minute........i hope it does not go beyond expected lines....my heart goes out to all the innocent people who suffer the brunt of the blast...normalyy this is how it is....the terrorists are scared of going after the govt and target innocent people.....
MAY THE killers FEEL THE WRATH OF NATURE AND DIE IN THEIR CAVES OR WHEREVER THEY ARE LIVING....MARDASAS ETC..................I HOPE THEY ROT IN THEIR HOMES.....FRANKLY AS YU DO UNTO OTHERS YU SHOULD EXPECT THE SAME...,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!!! AND MAY THE LEECHES SUCK ON YOU ........TO HELL WITH TERRORISM....
PEACE......AND TERROR DOES NOT GO HAND IN HAND!!!!!!!!
WE NEED PEACE AND SO IF ANY ONE OF YOU SEES A TERRORIST ,,HIT HIM HARD WITH WHATEVER YU GET...SPADE,SHOVEL,AXE.GUN,HAMMER,,,,,ANYTHING TO HELP MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
Zenfish............bro yu are right,nothing can be taken away from Zidane for all that he had achieved in his career..it has been awonderful career....i second yu on that and i think what happened on sunday was because at the heat of the moment Zidane forgot that he was carrying the weight of the whole of France that day.......it has been a terriffic career and he has been one of my fav players but sadly his career had to end that way.....i hope he can forgive himself for that and repent and then dwell on all his achievements which have been numerous and insurmountable......... Zidane deserved more and frankly yu are right about Materazzi working on Zidanes ' temper......that is professional sports..yu work on yur opponents strength and weakness and if taht means pisssing yur opponent off so be it.....i am also very sure taht materazzi must have said something that really got into zidanes nerves....according to some papers he referred to Zidane as a "TERRORIST" and so Zidane had every right to be mad but he should have controlled his anger at least for another 12 minutes and who knows France could have won the world cup in normal extra time...afterall we cannot deny the fact that ZIZOU is one of the most influential footballers at the moment in the world..no player can tick like he does if its his day,,,,ask Brazil and Spain and they will say yes!!!!!!!anyway...cheers and have a nice day...
Suzie2000..........hey suzo,,,please get over it...i was just toying with yu to get yu upset..i swear i did not mean it...anyway the world cup is over and so let us all bury the hatchet........no hard feelings..........i hope yu have a wonderful day and god bless.....teacher.
Satriella......hope yu got my mail from yesterday......do reply please and take care...
slanshroom...glad to hear tha bro...hope yu have a nice day.
ovation ....bro yu have mail.....
marimari....thanks for the mail...and yes,i am safe..mumbai and kashmir are very very far off from where i am and no terrorist will attck shillong as it has nothing of significance here.....peace...

Another bit of time has happened by since my last chat again. A few pages to catch up on.
OVATION 1 A big thanks bro for the link! Just curious. History haunts me for some reason.
SLANSH Thanks for the words of wisdom buddy. Glad to see all is well with you. My wife and I cant get enough of that Ali G link!
SUZIE Your my kind of woman girl. Loves Bruce Lee movies, and quotes him as well? I think I married the wrong woman!
GUITARMEISTER Good thing you missed the UFC man. I've been watching Pride too. Poor Shamrock is looking for a positive way to bow out and he just keeps getting pounded both in UFC and PRIDE. How do you like Bob Sapp? Think that dude could take care of Silvia?
CUTHBERT Thanks for the congrats buddy. Yeah, I think that the time and energy put into research and study kicked my butt! Congrats to your wife. She must really have a great sense of accomplishment, however the kids are far more important than anything. The Ph.D is in physical therapy and like your wife, I'm not practicing anymore. Maybe I should be?
KEN Yeah, I thought Joe was into snowboarding or surfing. Living in San Fran you get the best of both worlds. Thought he might surf as he has the surfer on the back of his guitar. Coooool! Love the drags bro! Funny cars are outrageous! The shake! We used to have a dragstrip out here but it had to close down after 20 years. You could race for 2 bucks! Anything you wanted. From mopeds to dragsters. I just looked inside of a AA fuel alt and got the chills. Those things are mean, nasty critters. Love it though!
WATERPROOF SOAP Welcome home bro! Your bass is waiting.
BAHDUH Get down! Now thats what I call venting! You have my sympathy man. Over here in Hawaii we have the North Korean missle testing going on. Today I heard on the news that they are stagging-up another onslaught. The problem is is that even with our technology we have a difficult time with I.D. of an actual warhead. We just sent over a new ship to Japan that is supposed to be capable of intercepting these warheads. They contain nuclear and biological concentrations. Our military believes that Japan is able to handle the situation without US involvement. If not, you can look at us most likely pulling out of the mid east. At least I hope so for Hawaii's sake as the range of these missles can reach into Nevada! Then you have to worry about fallout. Global? My wife and I are actually going to get our trust and papers in order tomorrow. I'm serious bro. Live each day the best you can.
ZEN PEACE to you. Much Aloha G
